I also really like Chopin, especially his Nocturnes. And Copland's Appalacian Spring is gorgeous, although that's getting pretty modern. There's also some opera that I like, although I really only know a few works. But Don Giovanni is awesome. I'll just stop rambling now...

Originally posted by Hallelujah Here She Comes I don't own much, either, but I took a music course last year that sort of sparked my interest. Some of my favorite pieces (most of these are actually from the course I took):

Please tell me that was a joke. Sorry, I just really can't stand that piece. maybe cause I've heard it so many damn times...

I listen to a lot of classical. I'd say I prefer romantic and post-romantic overall, though there are definite exceptions.

I also love Chopin (I think it's a requirement if you're of Polish heritage), and he's definitely one of my favorites to play. You should check out his Nocturnes, Polonaises, Preludes, Waltzes, Mazurkas, Ballades, Berceuse, barcarolle, as well as his 2 piano concerti. Ah Hell, check out everything! Maybe my favorite single piece is the Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise. I'm going to learn that one of these days...
